About Hog River Airport
Hog River Airport is a small private-use airstrip serving Hogatza, a remote community in Alaska's Yukon–Koyukuk region. The airport was activated in August 1962 and is privately owned and managed, with prior permission required before landing.
The airfield has a single turf and gravel runway, Runway 12/30, approximately 5,500 feet long and 125 feet wide. It has no control tower or published instrument procedures, and operations are suited to private aircraft and charter flights rather than scheduled commercial service.
Located less than one mile southeast of Hogatza, the airport provides a local gateway for the community, nearby mining operations and the surrounding Alaskan interior. The nearest larger settlements include Huslia and Hughes, which can serve as reference points for regional travel.
Because the site is remote, ground access and onward travel are generally arranged in advance. Travelers may continue by pre-arranged vehicle or private transfer, while fixed-wing aircraft remain the primary practical connection to the wider region.
